Summer is here and almost every girl desires to have that Instagram-worthy summer glow. However, getting that look without spending a fortune can be a real challenge. Thankfully, the beauty game can be won with creativity, resourcefulness, and a little help from Shopee.

How often do you go to a spa? At least once a month, I go in for a body scrub and massage. I never bothered before but now I use it as an excuse to take a break and reward myself. Whether for health or self-indulgence, I noticed there is an increasing number of spas as well as people who visit them. Is our lives that stressful?

One afternoon I was invited with a fellow blogger to try out a newly opened spa on the northern part of Quezon City. The establishment is called Juicy Nails by K2C and it offers nails, body and wax spa services. Owned by spa goers themselves, Ms. Kathy and Ms. Carol, the location was chosen because it was ideal for them to meet halfway.

The spa has six (6) comfy chairs, two (2) therapy rooms and a spotless bathroom with shower. A dash of vibrant pink, purple, light blue and white on the walls and furniture might intimidate macho men but the spa caters to everyone. A collection of nail polishes are beautifully displayed on the wall behind the counter. Guests are offered water, hot tea or iced tea on arrival.

The rooms were separated by a thick curtain. There were times the ‘divider’ was moved. Only clad in our underwear, the therapists did make sure we are covered in the right places all the time.

Bed was covered with plastic to keep it dry.

My therapist chose my body ritual, Citrus Glow, a whitening body scrub and wrap. My body was brushed to open my pores, scrubbed down, and wiped clean with warm water. Then mask was applied, body was wrapped with the plastic bed cover, and wiped clean with a cleanser. I was escorted to their bathroom for a quick shower before a body massage.

The treatment made me skin smooth and smelling good, no doubt about that. It would have been nice if the therapist asked me first what specific body ritual I wanted to try. I’m curious about the weight loss one, nonetheless I’m glad she is concerned in making my skin tone even.

If you’re into hard massages, you’ll enjoy the ones they give at Juicy Nails by K2C. Unfortunately, my body does not. Even after advising the therapist and adjusting the pressure, it left me with back pains when I got home 🙁

Their therapists are polite and accommodating with my questions. Cleanliness is a priority, especially in their shower / restroom area. If you’re residing or working near Tandang Sora market and looking for reasonably priced and good spa services, best for intimate spa parties, drop by Juicy Nails by K2C. Thank you Ms. Kathy and Ms. Carol for accommodating us!
